LAW ENFORCEMENT LUNCHING

I go to the police station today and find there is still no statement with the report about my backpack being stolen. I ask for a copy of the report, and am told by the clerk, they don't give copies of reports. In the past I was given copies of reports. Coincidentally, I had some copies in the backpack that was stolen. Seems the clerk could be aware of the fact the copies are not now in my possession. This would suggest to me either the police have the backpack, or the clerk has intelligence peculiar to the situation, that the contents are no longer in my possession.

THE BIG QUESTION?
How many copies did Vernon make.

Aloha Vernon Balmer Jr.

We received your e-mail and regarding the questions stated in your e-mail. Some one possible had called in a complaint of a person sleeping in a public area during business hours. In your e-mail you had mentioned that you did not have any picture id to identify who you claimed to be. Therefore, the officer inquired for a SSN card, which you willingly provided. You provided your name and with your SSN the officer was “running a make” to ascertain if you have been arrested in the pass. If you were arrested in the pass there would be a physical description of you and a verification of your name. These are normal procedures. The taken of your photo is done in compliance between two parties.

Hopefully, this response has addressed your questions.

Mahalo and may your day be filled with the aloha spirit.
